This is a quote I live by; "It's never too late to be what you might have been. "
- George Eliot [ 1819-1880 ]

I adore any and all kinds of cats. I want a birman someday, like the one I had when I was eleven.
I love dragons.

You Are Guinness
You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world.
Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them.
When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well.
But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around.
What's Your Beer Personality?

Yes, I know I should get up, turn it off, and distract myself with something that's actually productive, but I aways come back for more...:^)
A few memorable quotes concerning this piece of mind warping furniture:
"It's the menace that everyone loves to hate but can't seem to live without." ~Paddy Chayevsky----"TV will never be a serious competitor for radio because people must sit and keep their eyes glued on a screen; the average American family hasn't time for it." ~Author Unknown, from New York Times, 1939 (little did they know...)----"Your cable television is experiencing difficulties. Please do not panic. Resist the temptation to read or talk to loved ones. Do not attempt sexual relations, as years of TV radiation have left your genitals withered and useless." ~Matt Groening, The Simpsons----"The television, that insidious beast, that Medusa which freezes a billion people to stone every night, staring fixedly, that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little." ~Ray Bradbury, The Golden Apples of the Sun----"Television was not intended to make human beings vacuous, but it is an emanation of their vacuity." ~Malcolm Muggeridge----"If you came and you found a strange man... teaching your kids to punch each other, or trying to sell them all kinds of products, you'd kick him right out of the house, but here you are; you come in and the TV is on, and you don't think twice about it." ~Jerome Singer-----"Each day, the American housewife turns toward television as toward a lover. She feels guilty about it, and well she might, for he's covered with warts and is only after her money." ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966----"Another possible source of guidance for teenagers is television, but television's message has always been that the need for truth, wisdom and world peace pales by comparison with the need for a toothpaste that offers whiter teeth and fresher breath." ~Dave Barry----"If it weren't for Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of television, we'd still be eating frozen radio dinners." ~Johnny Carson----"Television should be the last mass communication medium to be naively designed and put into the world without a surgeon-general's warning." ~Alan Kay----"TV. If kids are entertained by two letters, imagine the fun they'll have with twenty-six. Open your child's imagination. Open a book." ~Author Unknown-----The Office, I heart Adultswim, my most recent addiction..., Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Desperate Housewives( I know its over the top at times and I am beginning to predict the plots almost too easily) Greys Anatomy( my new fave,I was a nurse, so it's close to my heart),The Apprentice, SNL occasionally,old In Living Color episodes, Playmania(even though the show is a complete scam, to get your money folks) South Park, Food Network (namely Unwrapped), Will and Grace, That 70's Show, King of Queens, Discoveries This Week, Cosmos, Family Guy, Cheers reruns, Anthony Bourdain, and Wife Swap (f%$#*n' hilarious) America's Next Top Model ( I like to bitch about the girls)Chapelle's show before it was cancelled (or should I say,Dave left?)old Hitchcock episodes, I Love Lucy reruns, Twilight Zone reruns,and Dick Van Dyke.
